Civil Disobedience Movement (CDM) has launched a demonstration in front
of the Constitutional Court (CC) calling the judges and CC chairman to
express their disobedience to authorities-in-power. Arkady Karapetyan,
commander of Yerkrapah detachment and a member of initiative group,
said they want to mobilize all public and political forces as well
as the individuals, "The whole Armenian nation," Karapetyan said.

"We celebrate one year of referendum on constitution with a protest
action. An exceptional event happened on November 27, last year. More
than one million fraud was drawn and the referendum passed," Michael
Apresyan, commander of Arstakh detachment, said. The initiators
connect little hope with CC administration to join the group. Apresyan
claims only 180,000 people participated in the referendum. "Where
are the remaining 1 million 200 thousand? People have boycotted the
referendum. They have written it was held," he said. The commander of
Artsakh detachment said the verdict of CC on incompliance of alienation
of property with the constitution was in vain. "The decisions of the
CC have no power in this country," he said.

One of the initiators of the movement, ex-minister of foreign
affairs, Alexander Arzumaynay, demanded resignation of the president,
pre-term presidential elections and formation of free, fair and lawful
authorities in power.
